About this study
Official title: Effect of Motor Imagery Training on Pain, Functionality, Proprioception and Kinesiophobia in Patients With Partial Rotator Cuff Tears
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of motor imagery training on pain, functionality, proprioception and kinesiophobia in patients with partial rotator cuff tears. Participants will be randomly assigned to traditional physiotherapy and motor imagery groups. Interventions will be performed with a physiotherapist for a total of 20 sessions for 4 weeks, 5 days a week. The intervention program will be determined by the Specialist Physical Therapy Physician. Data will be collected before the study, at the end of the training in the 4th week and at the 8th week (follow-up evaluation). Motor imagery ability will be assessed with the Movement Imagery Questionnaire (MIQ-R), pain will be assessed with the Numerical Assessment Scale for functionality with the DASH, proprioception will be assessed with the inclinometer and kinesiophobia will be assessed with the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale.
Read the detailed description
One of the most common pathologies related to the shoulder joint, which has a wide range of motion, is the tears of varying degrees in the rotator cuff muscles. The rotator cuff muscles consist of the dynamic stabilizers of the shoulder: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis and teres minor muscles. Pathologies related to the rotator cuff can present as simple overuse, impingement syndrome, partial tear, full-thickness tear and, in the advanced stage of the tear, rotator cuff tear arthropathy. Such tears can usually occur due to injuries and traumas, degeneration due to aging, overuse or repetitive movements. The main symptoms of a partial rotator cuff tear are increased shoulder pain during overhead movements, limited movement, muscle weakness and loss of function. Partial rotator cuff tear is usually diagnosed with physical examination and imaging techniques such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), ultrasonography, and X-ray. The treatment approach varies depending on the size of the tear, the patient's symptoms, and lifestyle, and is divided into conservative treatments and surgical techniques. Motor imagery is the individual's conscious simulation of the movement without any motor output. Motor imagery contributes to the improvement of motor performance and the learning of new motor skills. Motor imagery is divided into two as visual and kinesthetic imagery. While visual imagery consists of visualizing the movement, kinesthetic imagery focuses on the position of the muscles and limbs and the somatic sensations created by their movement. Studies combining motor imagery with classical physiotherapy training show that it increases the effectiveness of the treatment.

Motor Imagery TrainingOther
Kinesthetic and visual motor imagery will be applied.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control Group (Traditional Physiotherapy) | Active comparator | Traditional physical therapy will begin with the application of Hotpack, Tens and Ultrasound to the painful area for five minutes. Then, stretching exercises will be performed at the pain limit for the six main shoulder movements in the shoulder joint. Then, wand exercises, pendulum exercises, isometric exercises for the shoulder joint and strengthening active exercises will be given in order to increase the normal range of motion in the shoulder joint. The six main shoulder movements will be actively performed (flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial and lateral rotations). After the 5th session, weights will be added according to the patient's condition. Receives: Other: Traditional Physiotherapy |
| Motor Imagery Training | Experimental | In motor imagery training, exercises in traditional physiotherapy will be applied with kinesthetic and visual motor imagery. Each movement will be divided into five sets consisting of two trials separated by 10 repetitions and 30-second rest periods. It will also be emphasized through practice that the functional movement imagined and the times when this movement is actually actively performed should be similar. Individuals' eyes will be closed throughout the entire motor imagery training. At the very beginning of the session, a relaxation exercise lasting approximately 5 minutes will be performed in order to maximize attention during motor imagery. Whether or not individuals are performing imagery will be monitored by monitoring heart rate variables from autonomic functions. In order to ensure standardization during imagery, commands will be applied with audio recordings containing metaphors. Receives: Other: Motor Imagery Training |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Standardized Mini Mental Test
The Standardized Mini Mental Test is a short, efficient and standard method that can be preferred in determining the cognitive level of the individual. It is collected under five headings: orientation, recording memory, attention and calculation, recall and language. There are eleven items that individuals will answer. It is evaluated out of a total of 30 points. The threshold value was determined as 24 points in the Turkish validity and reliability study.
Measured: a day before the rehabilitation
Numerical Rating Scale
Pain intensity will be measured using the Numerical Rating Scale. A decrease in the point indicates that the pain is decreasing.
Measured: a day before the rehabilitation
Numerical Rating Scale
Pain intensity will be measured using the Numerical Rating Scale. A decrease in the point indicates that the pain is decreasing.
Measured: up to 4 weeks
Numerical Rating Scale
Pain intensity will be measured using the Numerical Rating Scale. A decrease in the point indicates that the pain is decreasing.
Measured: up to 8 weeks
Disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand
Disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand scale is a questionnaire developed to assess the musculoskeletal pathology of the upper extremity and the entire upper extremity in general. It consists of 30 questions that evaluate the degree of difficulty in performing different activities using the upper extremity in daily life in the last week (21 questions), symptoms consisting of pain, activity-related pain, numbness, joint stiffness and weakness (5 questions), and the effects of pathologies on social life, sleep, work and psychological status (4 questions). All questions have a 5-point Likert model (1: no difficulty, 2: mild difficulty, 3: moderate difficulty, 4: extreme difficulty, 5: completely unable to do). The Turkish version of the DASH Questionnaire was used.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Traditional Physiotherapy and Motor Imagery Training in people with Rotator Cuff Tears, run by Kutahya Health Sciences University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Sevtap CAKIR, Asst. Prof. (05343818927, sevtap.cakir@ksbu.edu.tr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Standardized Mini Mental Test (time frame: a day before the rehabilitation). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Apr 2026.
